That fashion counts as much in pic- 
torial art as it does in other forms was 
shown once more ins Méndelssohn Hall 
last night when the dina and uninspired 
|canvas by Millet. called ‘“‘A Shepherdess’’ 
| fetched the extraordinary price of $30,100, 
|M. Knoedler & Co, being the buyers. Just 
before this a finer. picture by the same 
|artist was bought by Scott & Fowles for 
($17,100. These two sales, with that of 
| Rousseau’s beautiful ‘“Bosquet d’Arbes,” 
‘which was bought by the Knoedlers for 
$28,000, and Corot’s “Un Torrent dans les

($21,000, were the chief features of the, 
‘Theron R. Butler sale, in which seventy- 
five pictures brought the large total of 
($264,835. ‘The sale showed some enormous 
igains in values and many more losses, a 
striking instance of the declines being in

and yet only brought $14,100 last night,

art dealer in town was in the large audi- 
lence that faced Anctioneer Kirby when 
the sale began. ‘he interest in the pic- 
jtures was of the keenest and thé bidding 
on some of the more important canvases 
lasted from ten to twenty minutes, it 
taking the last named interval to sell the 
‘Shepherdess.’ The high prices began 
ilwith the first Gerome put up. the “Garde 
(Louis XIV.,’’ whieh went to Boussad, 
Valadon & So. for $1,050, YZamacois’s 
“Court Jesters’ went for $1,650;  Meis- 
sonier’s “Vidette” to William Rebinson 
tor $3,300; the same artist’s ‘“‘Nothing in 
My Hands,” that Dickens once owned, 
for $4,000 to the Knoedlers; Vibert’s ‘‘The 
}Cardinal” to Andreny Freédman for $2,900, 
and Van Marcke's “Cattle and Land- 
{scape to Scoti & Wowles for $5,100. . 
Knoedlers paid $1,500 for Meyer von Bre- 
| men’s ‘“Prayer,’’ the same firm getting 
Diaz’s ‘‘Hunting Dogs’’ for $3,750. Dupre’s 
“Landscape and Pool” went an agent 
for $2,600, Breton’s ‘‘A. Brittany Shepherd- 
ess” to S. R. Guggenheim for $5,200, the 
two Erskine Nicols to Knoedler for $1,050 
each, Diaz's ‘The Pet Kid’ to Mrs: 
| Charles for $2,800 and Gerome’s ‘Master of

Hearn, Mr. Andrew Freedman, and 
Mr..: Amster, of Bostons.who is ‘a 
wealthy Polish mining engineer, were 
all good buyers, and the names of other, 
good private buyers were only slimly 
concealed to those in the trade under 
jaliases. -So-the sale did not prove-that! 
|the buyers are out of the market by 
any means, and the total satisfied the 
heirs of the Butler estate at least, one 
of whom “remarked at its conclusion 
that the estate came out even. This, | 
with so nny old-fashioned pictures, of 
itself proves the sale to have been a 
good one. 

The Zamacois, which sold for $4Q0, 
‘was sold by Mr. Julius Oehme, than 
witu = Knoedlers & (Co., ing, 1862; to 
Charles Dickens for $600 gold. It cer- 
tainly hasnt depreciated in value. The 
falling off in the prices of Meissonier 
and Rosa Bonheur was to have been 
lexpected. On the other hand, the ex- 
amples off Knaus and Meyer von Bre- 
‘men sold well.

TEACHING THE DOG 


A CHARACTERISTIC example of this Dutch 
master of genre subjects. Seated in a 
rush-bottomed chair beside an empty 
wine-cask, on which are a bottle of 
spirits, a glass and a pipe, a blue-smocked. 
countryman is teaching his dog to beg. 
With his hands supported on his knees 
he leans forward, his face wreathed in 
smiles, as the dog stands erect on his 
hind legs obedient to the word of | | 
command, and evidently as much pleased 
at his accomplishments as is his master. 
This example was painted to order for 
the late owner.

GARDE LOUIS XIV. PALAIS ROYAL 
xr. 
A stupy of character and costume in the most picturesque period of a pic- 


turesque country, rich in color, mirror-like in its accuracy of detail, and 
excellent in its rendering of feature. At the foot of a winding stone stair- 
case, with wrought-iron balustrade stands a young guardsman, hat in hand. 
He wears a resplendent uniform, a suit of red velvet, the sleeves slashed 
with green, and covered by a soft leather tunic. From his shoulder depends 
a cloak of blue velvet, lined throughout with rich ermine. Thigh boots and 
huge spurs complete his costume, as he stands facing the spectator, his long 
curly hair falling on his shoulders, his left hand resting on the hilt of his 
long sword.

THE WINE TASTER 


In the corner of a vaulted cellar the wine-casks are ranged in an orderly 
row, each marked with its own brand. Against one of them leans an 
elderly man in a long red frock coat, top boots and a broad-brimmed flat- 
topped hat of straw. He gazes reflectively at the wine which he is sipping, 
while the old cellarman pulls the cork from yet another bottle from the 
basket which stands near by. A syphon for filling the bottles hangs on the 
wall and the floor is littered with old corks and a wooden mallet.

A. short scarlet cloak depends from his 
shoulders, a tunic with many buttons 
descends half-way to his knee and his 
tight-fitting trousers descend into long 
boots of soft leather. His head is bare 
and his piercing eyes dart fiery glances 
from a swarthy face framed in a mass of 
long, dark hair. The artist has not only 
depicted the actor in one of his well-known 
characters, but has succeeded in painting 
— | a capital likeness of the great tragedian, 
aa as such, this meet is not only valuable historically but as an example 
of early American art.

COURT JESTERS PLAYING BOWLS 


THE scene shows the corner of a cobble-paved courtyard of a palace, flanked 
by a wall adorned with battle-scenes in bas-relief. In the foreground a gaily- 
clad group is playing bowls. The players are three of the unfortunates who, 
stunted and misshapen, were kept in the middle ages to add to the gaiety 
and amusements of the great. Resplendently dressed in slashed doublets 
and hose of silks and satin, they lean over the bowls, measuring the distance 
from the object ball. A court jester, a sad-faced man in cap and bells, 
leans against the wall, watching the disputants with an air of condescension 
toward such pitiful manikins. The picture is full of life and coloring and 
brings vividly before us a picture of life in the old-time palaces. ay

THE picture shows a corner of the common room of an inn in Paris in the 
picturesque times of the early seventeenth century. Before a deep recess a. a 
framed with heavy beams of oak is drawn a long wooden table, around | 
which is gathered a motley group of men-at-arms. Two of their number are 
playing a main at piquet. The younger of them is just making his discard, 
while his older opponent watches his face with great intentness. Seated and 
standing round, the watchers follow the game with interest, smoking their 
pipes or drinking their wine. Their faces repay a careful study as showing 
the different types of man called together by the profession of arms. Him 
on the right the bottle has claimed for its own, and his red nose and grizzled 
hair proclaim him too far gone to ever change. On the left is the cold and 
calculating face of a man who is determined to get on in life, while the two ; 
boys on the right seem the natural prey of the man who holds the cards )e $9

Across a field, knee-deep in grass and flowers, wanders a young girl, 
scarcely in her teens, holding a bunch of scarlet poppies. A short-sleeved 
dress of blue, over which is a long white apron, drapes her slight, almost 
boyish form, and her dark curly hair is gathered into a knot above a long, 
slender neck, framing a face round and piquante, from which the dark 
eyes look full at the spectator.

BESIDE a road which crosses a lonely upland a single soldier mounted on his 
charger is keenly watching for the enemy. His uniform is of green, fur-— 
trimmed, with tall shako and trousers buttoned down the sides, and his hair 
is dressed in long plaits. Rifle in hand, he sits alert and attentive, his gray 
horse as patient as a statue, ears pricked forward as if sharing his rider’s 
watchfulness. The time is late Autumn, the trees and bushes are almost bare 
of leaves, and under a snowy sky the deserted moorland stretches, past a 
gleam of water, to the distant horizon. The picture is illustrative of the 
type of man who, under Napoleon, carried the French Eagle to the farthest 
bounds of Europe. ,

COURTSHIP 


IN a corner of a wide stone-paved room sits a young maiden admiring a 
wonderful string of pearls which she has just taken from a casket on the 
table beside her. In a simple dress of white she looks very young and inno- 
cent beside the black-bearded man who sits beside her and who quietly 
watches her acceptance of his gift. In a long mantle of red velvet with 
voluminous sleeves, worn over a dark suit, he looks every bit an old Vene- 
tian nobleman, and the magnificent tapestry on the wall behind the pair 
show the lady to belong to a wealthy family.

his best manner. A young woman 
sits upon a large roek by the wayside, 
her bundle of clothes beside her, a large 
basket upon her knee. With a look 
of sadness upon her face she rests her 
chin upon her hand, her fine eyes cast 
down and full of tender reflection. She 
is evidently a young peasant girl, dis- 
contented with her lot, leaving home to 
seek her fortune in the wide world.

hair bound in a cotton kerchief.

BrstvE the furrow which he has been painfully turning, a young peasant 
leans on his clumsy, long-handled wooden spade. His attitude is expressive t

of his wooden sabots, resting his weight entirely upon the other leg. His 
clothes consist of a pair of blue trousers and a dirty cotton shirt, open at the 
neck. | His head is bare, and covered with a shock of rough hair, his mouth 
open, his chin resting on his hands. His face is devoid of expression, his intel- 
ligence hardly rises above that of the beasts with whom his life is spent, so 
entirely does the struggle for mere existence dull all other feeling. The 
parched earth extends in the sunlight past other workers to some lowly

A SHEPHERDESS 


AN intimate study of the life of a young peasant girl, whose time from 
dawn to dark is passed in watching sheep, who looks forward to nothing . 
better, save, perhaps, to becoming the wife of some peasant and to exchange 
the exclusion of the fields for that of a cottage. In the shadow of a clump 
of bushes she sits, her staff resting on the stones beside her. She wears a 
rough dress of coarse material, covered with a blue apron, and her hair is con- 
fined in a close-fitting red cap. With her hands folded in her lap, and her 
lips slightly parted, she appears to be lost in a day-dream, leaving the care of 
her charges to her faithful dog, a rough, shaggy creature, who watches the 
flock from a slight eminence near at hand.

THE picture shows the corner of a pleasant park in Spain; a broad flight of 
steps, with marble balustrade and_ pillars surmounted by urns, descends 
across the picture, overshadowed by trees in full foliage. Escutcheons 
bearing the arms of the Empire and of Spain are on the pillars, but the paths 
are overgrown with weeds, and grass and ferns grow in the cracks between 
the stones. Upon a low stone bench which runs beneath the steps sit a 
couple deep in an animated conversation. The young gallant in coat and 
knee-breeches of gray satin has a long scarlet cloak cast about him, and has 
thrown his hat upon the ground as he bends fervently toward the object of 
his devotion, a pretty young girl in flowered silk dress and pink bodice, her 
hair dressed high and uncovered in the Spanish fashion. Leaning over ‘the 
balustrade behind the couple is a sly-faced old monk, listening with great 
interest to the young people beneath him, who are too occupied bigest their 
own affairs to heed possible eavesdroppers.

GRAND CANAL, VENICE 


TuE artist shows us here a picturesque corner on the Grand Canal in his 
beloved Venice. Upon the right a row of lofty houses rises straight from 
the water’s edge, clear-cut against the azure sky, the shape of their doors and. 
windows showing plainly the influence of the oriental art with which the 
Venetians were so familiar. Blazing in the sunshine their walls glitter with 
various colors, stretching in diminishing perspective to the middle distance, 
where the buildings of the city stretch across the picture, their lofty towers 
and domes interspersed with trees and the masts of the shipping. The 
waters of the canal, all bejewelled under the flawless blue of a perfect Italian 
sky, reflect in their depths the colors of the houses, the azure of the heavens, 
and the shapes of a few gondolas which glide over their unruffled surface.

THE BULL-FIGHTER 


THE view shows a corner of the arena of the Plaza de Toros in some Spanish 
town, the spectators rising, tier upon tier, to the numbered boxes above. 
In the foreground is a toreador mounted on a horse, holding a long spear in 
his hand. He makes a picturesque figure, in a blue coat befrogged with 
silver, a broad pink sash and a wide-brimmed sombrero, as he sits erect in a 
scarlet saddle with high pommels, a look of pride upon his swarthy face. 


His horse’s eyes are bandaged, that it may not observe the onrush of the 


bull. Stretched on the sand of the arena is a dead horse, his rider, another 
spearman, bowing his pleasure to the plaudits of the crowd. The picture 
is remarkable for its accuracy of detail, is resplendent in color, and the 
atmosphere of the scene is conveyed with telling force upon the canvas.

= LANDSCAPE AND CA TTLE—SUMMER 


A BEAUTIFUL example, full of atmosphere, astir with animal life, and with 
more color than is usually seen in Rousseau’s later works. One can almost 
hear the lowing of the cattle and catch the faint rustle of the trees as the 
evening breeze lightly stirs their foliage. In a flat, marshy meadow, shining 
with gold in the rays of the setting sun, a herd of cattle is enjoying the 
luxurious pasturage and drinking the waters of anearby pool. On the right 
a path runs along the top of a slight rise in the ground, through a small 
plantation of trees, and is lost to sight. On the left another growth of trees 
leads the gaze to the middle distance, where, through a break in the foliage, 
a small stream catches the eye.as it flows to the distant horizon. The sky is 
a faint blue, covered with masses of heavy cloud. ;

many pools which bejewel the foreground. In the middle distance a few — 
trees grow outlined against the sky, making the absolute flatness of the land-

BULL, DOG AND LANDSCAPE 4, ¥ Aypéhy 


In this picture the greatest animal painter of his time has given us a mas- 
terly exhibition of his skill in portraying cattle. The principal object of the 
composition is a fine red and white bull, who stands beside a hedge in the 
foreground threatening, with lowered head and flashing eye, a bull-dog 
which barks impudently a few feet in front of him. He stands sideways 
to the spectator, the sunlight streaming full upon his flank, which almost 
seems to heave with rage as the rippling muscles make play of light and 
shade along his neck and massive shoulders. The scene is set in a level 
meadow, extending to the middle distance, where more cows crop the grass 
in the shade of a clump of trees. Beyond these the ground rises gently to 
a low line of hills on the horizon, meeting a sky covered with heavy rolling 
clouds with a single patch of watery blue near the zenith. The whole 
picture is beautifully painted, a masterpiece of one who, had he not chosen 
to excel as an animal painter, would have been reckoned one of the

covered and scarred by the passage of many Winters, their branches broken

denser, the leaves with a yellowish tinge, as if already feeling the approach 
of Autumn. In the foreground, a woman sits beside her faggot of firewood, 
the blue and white of her garments contrasting with the sere aspect of the 
dry and withered foliage. The sky is wintry and overcast, and a heavy

in 1875, and being selected for special mention in Robaut’s monumental 
work on Corot. On the right of the picture, a narrow stream, fed from 
some mountain source, dashes in swift torrent over its rocky bed, the 
swirling waters reflecting in a thousand eddies the silver light of the sky. 
The farther bank slopes gently upward, tree-covered, to the white walls of a 
large building which occupies the middle distance. Upon the left, large 
trees cast a deep shadow over the grass and rocks which form the nearer 
bank, upon which several peasants are returning from their day’s work. 
The sun is just dipping below the horizon, and the last rays stream from 
the cloud-covered sky, gilding the walls of the building, accentuating the 
red cap of a boatman, and softening the green of the foliage as it shines 
through the feathery masses of the trees.

heave of their sides and the lazy swish of their tails. A flock of sheep 
browse afew yards further off, and a tiny lamb skips along beside its dam 
in the foreground. The level rays of a setting sun stream across the scene, 
showing up the woolly fleeces of the sheep, the great bulk of the cattle and

who, cap in hand, stands silently before him. A sturdy ruffian he is, over-

eyes. Obviously he is not laying his scolding much to heart. On the wall

nine horses and guarded by a Cossack armed with a long spear has driven 
along the deep-rutted road and has drawn up in a flurry of snow before the

stable is of split logs, the interior showing dark through the doorway, which 


is the only opening through which light and air can enter. The gray sky

hangs a large triptych. A brass vessel is ga before the fire, whose *

Tuls picture shows to great advantage the wonderful ability of the artist, 
not only in her intimate knowledge and consummate rendering of animal 
life but also her powers as a landscape painter, especially in the wilder and 
more remote aspects of nature. She shows us the dark, still waters of a 
mountain loch in Scotland, surrounded by craggy hills, and steep moorland 
descending sheer to the water’s edge. In the foreground the shore of the 
lake is rocky and covered with purple heather, on which rest a few of the 
active, long-haired sheep of the country. Peacefully they lie, the ewes and 
their lambs, guarded by one of their number, who watches from a low, flat- 
topped rock. The sky is misty and heavy with vapor, which drifts down 
the mountainside, concealing the farther peaks from view, giving promise © 


of heavy rain to come.

THE picture shows a scene upon the steps of a church in Rome, redolent of 
the happy, lazy life which passes under the Southern skies, the counterpart — 
of which may be seen to-day in any Italian village. The broad steps stretch 
across the picture, a narrow portal in the wall behind showing dark against 
the sunlight which blazes upon the white wall, illumining a faded fresco 
painted on the plaster and protected from harm by an iron railing. From 
out the doorway come the monks, hooded and cowled; on the right, a 
peasant woman sits, her hands clasped across her knee, beside an old man of 
poverty-stricken appearance. On the left, a man is stretched at full length, 
sound asleep, and in the centre a little girl stands, her back against the 
plaster wall, her eyes closed as though in slumber, evidently the model for 
the artist who sits in the corner sketching the scene before him, a small boy 
looking over his shoulder to follow the lines of his busy pencil.

hardly bigger than the sheep beside him. The artist has shown to perfection 
the soft, woolly texture of the fleece, the long, hairy coat of the pony and 
the cruel points of the jagged rocks which form so prominent a feature of 
the landscape.

FELIX ZIEM 


FRENCH (1824 _) Bee 


A BRILLIANT view of the Grand Canal in Venice—the Venice that Ziem i a 
loved so well—the waters dancing in the sunshine beneath a glorious sky, 5; ie 
shrouded here and there behind a veil of filmy cloud. In the foreground a 
crowded gondola glides under the vigorous strokes of the oarsmen, across 
the bows of a large boat advancing before the wind, its two sails, adorned — 
with gay pictures, outspread to catch the failing breeze. In the distance _ 

are more boats, and behind them the Gindecca debouches into the canal, __ 
while to the right is the long, scimiter-like sweep of the river, fringed with 
buildings, the wondrous Campanile towering into the sky above the Piazza, __ ys 
the Doge’s palace and the domes of San Marco. On the left the red tower 
of San Giorgio balances the composition, its rich tones reflected in the — 
depths of the water, which gives back also the shimmering pictures of the 
boats and the masses of the buildings in the distance.

ITALIAN GIRL 


No. 73 


THE full-length, life-size portrait of a dark-eyed little daughter of Italy. 
She stands in the open air, the full glare of a Southern sun illumining the 
gay colors of her costume and making brilliant her white linen by contrast 
with the depth of the shadows in the background. She wears a dress and 
apron of green, with a crimson bodice over a white linen chemise; her feet 
are shod in shoes cut from a single piece of leather and tied around the 
ankles. On her head she wears a cap of white linen, enhancing by its spot- 
less purity the dark color of her hair, the olive hue of her complexion and 
the liquid depth of her large eyes. She stands half turned to the right, one 
hand dependant at the side, the other raised as if expectant of charity.

FLOWER MARKET 


(Extracts from a letter of the artist dated 1876.) 


“On the left of the second plane is the side of the Tribunal of Commerce, which 
looks upon the Seine, and is a type of the modern and very elegant style of building; 
the Boulevard of the Court of Justice separates it from the clock-tower, one of the 
beautiful remains of the architecture of the Middle Ages. It is said of this clock 
that it sounded the signal of the St. Bartholomew Massacre under Charles the Ninth. 
The turrets which are back of it, in actual repair, are named the towers of the State- 
prison and have been used as a prison heretofore—in the time of the Revolution, 
1792, Marie Antoinette was there imprisoned. 

“At the right of the picture by the frame a part of the Chatelet Theatre; on 
the same line the wharf of the Megisseni, a modern construction reaching to the new 
bridge; further along and at the left the Colonnade of the Louvre; the galleries of 
the Museum on the edge of the water, and at the extreme centre of the picture the 
pavilion of Flora, of the Tuilleries. 

“This is the panorama that I have chosen to represent on the first plane, one of 
the sides of Parisian life in open air, which by parenthesis has a decided taste for 
flowers, and it can be truthfully said that at all seasons they can be procured in Paris, 
so largely is this trade developed. It was then a very interesting subject for an ar- 
tist to treat from all points of view, offering to the spectator a variety of types, 
forming the whole of the Parisian population; the design of the picture itself ex- 
plains each character. It will be unnecessary, I believe, to indicate more to you than 
the professions which I state. Group of citizens, children and nurses, group of Parisian 


workmen, porters pulling a hand-cart containing a variety of flowers, flower-merchants,

assistant gardeners, a seller of coca-nut carrying a monumental (oe persons wa 


ing, sergeants of the city, guards of Paris on horse-back, hackney-coach, far 
on the bridge in motion carriages, omnibus, etc.; the white steam at the right of 
picture is from a boat which takes the place of an omnibus on the Seine. To te ' 
the time which I have spent upon this painting would surprise you, and the diffi 
ties I have had to overcome in order to write each varied element would take too lon g 
—each character or accessory would have a small history of its own. I dare to hope — 

that this painting will have in America the same success that it has had at the Par 
Exposition, for you have without doubt followed in the papers the accounts given 7 
paintings in the Salon this year. No paper has forgotten to speak of it, and to Teo a. P 
tion the crowd which was stationed continually before my picture and that it was not — | 
always easy to get near it. Besides the administration, which had taken the interest 

that the public conveyed to it, had it magnificently placed on the ogee in the Grand | o- q 
Salon facing the entrance of the large stairway.” . : +
